I have a Rivals subscription, so yeah, I guess I have "insider" access, though to be truthful it gets here almost as quickly (and sometimes quicker) than the paysites. I like reading posts on the Fort (message board on Michigan's Rivals site) and the articles by their mods.

That would be great, although the board has been all over the place on Fisher. If all four committed, would there be room for Zettel (understanding that there is really no chance and no interest, but strange things happen on signing day.)

I saw Zettel earlier this year and he played 5 positions. DE was where he was least productive in the game I attended. I don't recall him making any plays. He was unreal on the offensive line and at linebacker. Maybe what I saw will make everyone feel better if we end up having a strong offensive line class, but he stays firm on Penn State.

I'm curious about something, what happend to the "gentlemans agreement" about not poaching recruits from B1G schools? I remember RR getting some backlash for this but haven't heard any complaints about Hoke doing it, not that I mind him doing it just curious. Also, how does the illini have 27 commits, I thought there was a B1G rule about only 25 to a class.

After the coaching change he softened on his stance to Michigan. He remained committed but was sort of in "wait and see" mode with respect to Hoke. After visiting and talking to Coach, he's fully onboard.

They removed the soft verbal off of Blake Countess yesterday too. Last week he tweeted "Those who stay will be champions" after Hoke left his house. Then a few days later he tweeted something like "Tough decision, I'm torn" or something like that after Penn State's coaches visited. I haven't heard anything since. Has he publicly reaffirmed with UM?
